Good morning everyone,

We’re leaving for Iowa this afternoon once Greg returns from NYC. I spoke to Momma Ames yesterday and she didn’t sound like herself so I’m going with the expectation of bringing her home with us.

Her illness has hit Greg pretty hard and I imagine it’s made worse by the fact that there hasn’t been a diagnosis. Maybe it would be different if she was old and crippled but she’s not. She’s extremely active and healthy. Hell, she travels more than I do!

A large amount of their family still lives in Iowa so there’s no shortage of support however, for the time being, it would be best if she was closer to NYC and Newport. And it would put Greg’s mind at ease.

My beautiful husband is a very strong man who has tapped into his sensitive side…I thank Buddha for that because most WASP lack emotions. But he’s become clingier than normal. I know it’s his nerves, I know the clingy fog will lift once Momma Ames is within striking distance but damn!

This weekend Greg, Daniel, BC, Turtle, and some of the cats and dogs ended up in my bed watching “Merlin” while Eva and Christopher sat on the lounger. Has everyone lost their minds? My bedroom has become Noah’s Ark since Momma Ames fell ill.

Anyway, BC is looking foul…no Tuesday morning waffles…he’ll live. I have to finish packing. I’ll try to post a new “Through Sam’s Eyes” later tonight once we settle in and a new installment of "Wicked" this weekend.

Chat later!
